Wore a smart watch for years. Got annoyed by the constant notifications so I turned them off. Then got annoyed by needing to charge the watch every few days which led to my interest in mechanical/quartz watches.
Q: What was the first watch you ever owned?
First watch ever: A swatch field-style watch.
First watch purchased with intention: Hamilton Khaki Auto
Q: Do you have a watch with a particularly interesting story behind it?
I have a Seiko Dx from 1970; it was a gift from my grandparents to my dad on his 21st birthday. He gave it to me in 2021. It's gorgeous.
Q: What is one piece of advice you have for someone just getting into watches?
Take your time and enjoy what you have. There is a strong pull to purchase the watch NOW due to it being limited or you found a great deal etc. The fact is that other great deals will come along.
Q: What brands have been getting your attention lately?
Formex
Q: What is your grail watch and why?
A watch brand that I love but will never buy is a Ressence.
